3. Hymenocallis dufourii, D. & C. + the (east) of Georgia, Arkansas,
n. Mexico (? Caffa?)
a) July 9, 1869 Lake's Caim
b) n. 22, Silver Creek Caim
c) n. 26, n
Cypripedium
74. Catasetum chrysophyllum, B. Minut, Att.
The genus is between
Quercus & Castanea, with a distinct feature of
staminal filaments divergent in the anther (in Q. arborescens, in C. foetidum). - pistillate 2-1 in a nearly umbel
(in q. 1 in a capsule) - very 3-celled + styles 3, (rarely 2-5) - (in C. arundinaceum, 6-celled) - styles as
many - under inserted at an acute angle (all (in Q. attached to inferior angle of the base or trunk)
with branched stigma
The top - in C. pendulum, from the upper angles) - involucre brownish chitinous, thin, cut,
for corymbose
containing 3-12 anthers (in Q. bicarpa, acalyx, and very slender, cap with a free
non-apical
(excluded or included acorn) - and hyponema simple (in C. arundinaceum 2-3). - coty-
leons thick, plano-convex, forinose (in Q. undulata, plano-convex, with a fringed and
at its back, rarely emarginate. - in C. andicola, remains (?), outside, andulate opposed on the
inside) - spikes 2-axial (in Q. 1-axial, in C. 1-2-axial)
Diflorous?
The oak's, active Pavanian.
The larger form of Oregon + Caffa (formerly 60-100 ft high + 1-3' in diam.,
the variety 20-6' high, with a slender limb. - fruits 6" in diam. The
elbarche prolongation of the sides of the anther becomes sometimes 1" long.
The inner prickles are arranged somewhat spirally, lean in Thurn
Opinions not at all accurate & mostly others.
May 2, 1869 - Vine's Caim, n. Oregon - 20°
75. Quercus alba, L. var. Gunniziana, Borr. (C. Bellata, J. Wakenius, etc.)
5-15+44, "Q. Bougainii, p. Mexicana".) Certainly a variety of alba - having in
the larger specimens
very distinct the shaped leaf, the glabrous anther, the same proportions cap with
its convex inflated scales - but soon prominently pubescent, only occasionally
becoming nearly glabrous + the acorn but half the usual size. A shrub or
small tree, sometimes 1-12" in diam. + 20' high with all the habit of alba.
